PA0B TWBHTT A I I it. HAY w. RESIGNATION OF COMMISSIONERS NOW DEMANDED Cincinnati, 0., May thousand thoroughly aroused Cov- ingtonians, crowding into the Kenton Tobacco Warehouse last night thundered out a unanimous vote of acclamation to a resolution calling on the city commissioners to resign. The action of the citizens came as a reply to the action of the commissioners in forcing Col. J.

Franklin Bell to resign as city manager without making public any specific explanation for the demand. Earlier in the day petitions calling on the commissioners to rescind their action in dismissing Bell and signed by 0,000 citizens, had been presented the commissioners. Johnston Northcutt, Chairman Johnston Northcutt, Covington attorney, presided at the meeting lasl night and said the purpose of the meeting was to give the city commissioners an opportunity to inform the public of their reason for demanding the resignation of Col. Bell as city manager. Chairman Northcult then asked if the city commissioners or any one of them were present in the hall and promised them courteous attention if they spoke from stage.

Gloomy silence followed. Not a single'city commissioner was present. Demand Resignations The rafters of the big warehouse rang with prolonged applause when a set of resolutions were adopted by a unanimous vote calling on the city comii'ssioners to "resign their re- ipecli offices in order that places might bo filled by commissioners who would recognize their responsibility to the majority of the voters of Covington."
